any, her produce by him had no speed;
but when she was bred to Vermont Black

she did. Now Lady Griswold's dam
when bred to Flying Morgan, a horse
that not only had speed but transmitted
it, produced fast trotter, but when
bred to horses that neither had speed nor

This shows that the blood of the mare

THE POISON OF MALARIA.
The Researches of Tommasi-Crudelia and
Others-On the Roman Campagna.

The Researches of Tommasi- Crudeii and
Others-On the Roman Campagna.
When we talk of the Roman climate
we can not disassociate the theme from its
distinctive characteristic-the malarial
poison. What is this loison? Till the re-
searches of Tommasi-Crudeli and Kiebs,
published in 1879. the most plausible
answer was that of DIR. Leon Colin. who
defines it as an ''intoxication tellurique,"
an earth poison generated by the surplus
vegetative energy of an abnormally fer
tile soil, whose fecundity was very par
tally absorbed by the scantv sprinkling
of hcrbage that ovcrspread its surface
Cultivate this soil. render to this vegeta-
tive energy its appropriate pabulum, and
you provide the antidote to malaria.
Such. stated with extreme brevity, was
the theory of Leon Colin, embodied in a
work of great ability, which, appearing
as it did, at the outbreak of the Franco
German war, encountered a public too
preoccupied to give it the study it de-
served.
Tommasi- Crudeli combats this theory
He denies that the Roman Campagna
possesses anything like the exuberant fe-
cundity with which it has been credited.
Its really fertile tracts are few and far
between. rarely compensating the agri-
culturist for his labor-as, indeed, was
well known to ancient husbandmen.
Then, again, if the poison were gaseous,
as Leon Collins theory implies, the mall
aria surcharged atmosphere ought to be
at its maximum at MONDAY, when the
exhalation from the soil il greatest; but
on the contrary, the localities in which
malaria is most pronounced reach their
maximum of danger in the morning and
evening-those periods of the day when
the difference of temperature between
earth and atmosphere renders the ascend
ing aerial currents most powerful and
most apt to transport the material of the
poison. That material, according to
Tommasi-Crudeli,i is a living ferment.
encountered equally on the mountain and
plain, in dry soils and in humid. Its ex-
istence was suspected and unscientifically
described as long ago as the decline of
the Roman republic by the agriculturist
Varro and its nature and form are de-
| fined by Tommasi-Crudeha as a "Schizo-
metes bacillaris.
For its development it requires a tenn
perature not lower than twenty degrees
C. "a moderate degree of humidity and
the immediate contact of the atmosphere
with the soil it infects. As the absence of
single one of these conditions prevents
the development of the malaria, so GER
tain localities exhibit at times a natural
suspension of the poison. In winter, for
example, the fall of the temperature be-
low the required twenty degrees causes a
thermic suspension; the loss of the neces-
sary humidity under prolonged drought
causes a hydraulic suspension; and the
interposition of sheets of water or of a
thick mating of turf on the lying down
of pavement, by preventing the imme-
date contact of the atmosphere with the
infected soil, produces an atmospheric
suspension of the malaria. Lam

j. BATTELL,
Dear Sir Your request at hand. The
trotting stallion Gen. Wayne (FoX Hun
teri was dark chestnut, 10 l-2 hands
high, weight 1850 lbs. For style, bone
and muscle he had no superior, and as a
stock horse he stood A. No. l., for which
purpose he was expressly kept. He was
foaled May 81, 1851, in the vicinity of
Montreal. Canada. He was bred by Mr..
Varbonceur, Frenchman, and was got
by the thoroughbred imported horse
Tamworth, imported by Capt. Rice of
the 23d Regiment. His dam, large bay
mare, was got by Mr.. c. c. j. DeBleury's
horse which was the sire of Passe Careau
Superior to Diamond Careau), better
known on the trotting turf as Gen. Dun
hams Moscow. Gen. Wayne has shown
in public 2:5G, 2:54, $50. This was
done on the track, but on ice he could
beat anything in this part of the country.

Incident in Andrew Jackson's Life.

Andrew Jackson's life was literally
"battle and march," From his youth,
in the Revolution, to his old age in the
White House, he passed few years with
out fight of some kind on his hands.
War appeared to be his natural element,
and it made little difference to him
whether he was fighting the Indians in
Mississippi, the British in Louisiana, or
Calhoun and the nulliiiers. Clay and the
Wings, or Biddle and the banks. He had
no fondness for wine, or ardent spirits,
or games of chance or skill although liv-
ing among men who spent much time in
such indulgences. He was interested in
horse racing. however, and was always
ready with the pistol when ''the times
were out of joint, and ugly customers
on the war path. One day, not long
after the adoption of the constitution,
there was horse race on the borders of
Georgia and Tennessee, between the
horses of the respective states. The
Georgia horse won. and after the race
was over the participants III the sport
dined together at tavern near the race
course.
Jackson, then young man, sat next
to a stalwart Georgian. In the course of
the dinner, the former, smarting under
the modification Of defeat, cried out in
loud voice, "Georgias a mighty mean
state. Tennessee's heap better" No
sooner were the words out of his mouth
than the stalwart Georgian seized jackson
by the nape of the neck and the seat of
his pantaloons and threw him clear across
the table. Jackson lit upon his feet like
cat, and, drawing a pistol, opened fire
upon his opponents. A general scrim-
mage ensued which lasted for half an
hour, but, strange to relate, none were
killed or wounded. Ny informant was
boy at the time, and witnessed the fight
through the crack of the door. behind
which in his terror he had taken refuge.
He lived to be nearly 90, and saw many
scrimmages in after years in that wild
country between the Coosa and the Black
Warrior, but this fight at Bob Anderson
tavern he always regarded as the great
event of his life.-Ben: Perley Poore's
